Patch 8.0 Hotfixes for September 4th - Azerite Power Tuning, Good Suramaritan Requirements

Blizzard has posted today's hotfixes which includes a large number of Azerite Power Tuning and some changes to Dungeons. These Azerite Power changes are already updated in Wowhead's database.\r\rYou also no longer need to kill Xavius for Roba da sogno, which in turn makes Il buon suramaritano and unlocking a Nightborne much easier.\r\r\rHere you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Battle For Azeroth. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.HotfixesSeptember 4, 2018Azerite Powers\r\rBrivido Corroborante healing increased 10%.\rColpo di Genio's Intellect increased by 66%.

Thank you for that Xavius change. Coming late to the party before realizing I should\u2019ve finished Suramar questing, I thought I would never get Legion Pathfinder done post expac.

Useless azurite traits for holy paladin buffed. How about making the "supposedly good" ones actually feel effective? Azerite gear is far less impactful then artifact weapons.

Scrapping the whole Azerite armor useless traits, unless you are in the 1% that raid above LFR would have been a GREAT start!\r\rBad enough you are are a noodle in a wet paper bag when you hit 120. On top of that, the better the gear, the harder that monsters are to kill. They take longer, hence any abilities they have to damage you hit you more times, thus you are STILL a wet paper bag, and still hitting like a wet noodle.\r\rThis use to be a real RPS that had power progression, not all it has is Profit Progression!

The mob scales to have 1400 HP, but you now deal 200 DPS, meaning it only takes 7 seconds to kill the mob.\r\rThe mob having more health doesn't necessarily mean it takes longer since you are also doing more DPS.\r\rYes, it's a dumb system, but at least be honest and properly informed about the system before you complain about it.

I'm as casual as they come, my Demon Hunter is just about to hit item level 330, I haven't done anything other than world quests and like three heroic dungeons and I'm noticing mobs are starting to melt compared to what they did a few days ago when I first hit 120. If you're "hitting like a wet noodle" and struggling to kill open world mobs in a timely manner a couple of weeks after an expansion launch, you're either new and don't realize that you don't start one-shotting them until towards the end of the expansion, or you're not playing your class correctly.

Or do you just like to complain about stuff using very odd analogies? What happens when people hit 120 that causes their power to all of a sudden drop? I have been 120 for like a week now and I am still waiting for that to happen. A bit nervous about it too I must say. Prior to hitting 120 I could grab aggro on 10 mobs and felt fine and imagine my surprise when shortly after hitting 120 I was still able to to do that. It wasn\u2019t until I saw a bunch of posts from people with your same complaint that I started to wonder if I managed to miss out on the fun of being underpowered. Some of them were people with ilvl 15 points higher than mine. So the closer I got to 315 the more nervous I got. Sadly it never happened, killed both world bosses today and got some nice loot and sitting at ilvl 331 when I logged out today. Not bad for a non raider\/mythic dungeon player. Still waiting for that feeling of being powerless though.

Legion scaling was nothing compare to this bull*!@#.\r\rTL;DR play tank or disc priest if you want big pulls...

That\u2019s good to know. Y\u2019all need to learn to control your aggro then if you can\u2019t handle big pulls.

But I still need a level 110 Alliance to get a Void Elf or a Lightforged.\r\rNot terribly difficult. Make a DK and level them to the point you can unlock DH, 60 or maybe 70 I forget but easy to do. DH will be 100 or so after starting scenario. A few hours from there to 110. That\u2019s how I finished unlocking nightborn and high mountain. Or you could just buy an alliance toon at 110, not as much fun but it is faster.

That was the question i was about to ask. WHAT are you playing? Anyways, scrapping the Azerite armor can not come soon enough already. Unless they make pieces NOT in raid, that have straight up DPS traits, then it is a worthless system to me. I need gear like mad to survive hitting 120 and its so sad we have ilvl scaling, something that ANY game but WOW could add, and that game would crash and burn. This dev team led by Ion has done more damage to this game than anyone, ever. When this game takes the ilvl scaling out, or tunes it down much more, ill actually level. Until then, its a useless task. Im perfectly happy XP locked and farming and selling mats at good prices still. So thats my whole expansion, farming mats. Nothing more.\r\rIF they used the MoP design, quests, dungeons, raids, professions, and added the rest they have mow, Island Ex, Warfronts, and again put tier in, and meaningful tier, tier that helps you get through LFR and can be mixed and matched per raid tier, and make LFR the way it was in MoP, and then add Flexx back, they would have a winning expansion, instead of this hodgepodge dumpster we have now.

"Oh no I'm weak at FRESH 120 I need to get gear whaaaaa" If you can't even get through LFR you don't get an opinion on how the game progresses. LFR doesn't make or break and expansion.

I have noticed that DPS seem to be getting themselves into trouble more than they used to. At least I think that's what it means when they drag a bunch of mobs over and drop them on me. So maybe be careful of what you pull, try not rushing right up to the rare elite without clearing the adds first. Maybe ask if you see a tank in the area if they would be amenable to helping you not die. When people ask for help I will, when people drag a bunch of crap over and then try to leave it with me I bubble and hearth away and hope they die. Or sometimes I just chase after them and kite all the mobs with me. \r\rThere really is enough gear out there in the world either from WQ or from the rep vendors. I think most of the rep vendors have a piece of 335 gear at revered and a piece of 355 at exalted. Revered is pretty easy to get if you did all the quests in a zone or have been working on the war campaign. Check to make sure you have gems and enchants for your gear that will take it and if you have to you can buy ilvl 300 gear from crafters. Check the class guides here as well, this helped me immensely with itemization so i knew what secondary stats to pursue since that changed a little for me since legion. If you want to find good azerite traits there is a guide somewhere on wowhead that is helpful and maybe this can help you target the gear you want. Or do nothing except continue to complain because you just won't make any adjustments. Choice is ultimately yours but if you are unwilling to work a little then maybe you should just sit this one out and be a trader. The world needs those as well
